MIT develops recyclable 3D-printed glass blocks for construction
The team points to glass’ optical properties and its “infinite recyclability” as reasons for turning to the material.
Engineers 3D print strong, multilayered glass bricks for building structures
The potential for 3D-printable glass masonry is immense. It could be reused multiple times, serving as recyclable bricks for building facades and internal walls. This breakthrough has the power to transform the construction industry and pave the way for a more sustainable future.
'Brain-breaking' glass bricks are 3D printed, reusable, and strong
Using a 3D printer that works with molten glass, researchers forged LEGO-like glass bricks with a strength comparable to concrete. The bricks could have a role in circular construction in which materials are used over and over again.
3D-Printed Glass Bricks Can Be Used And Reused Like Giant LEGO For Real-Life Buildings
“Glass as a structural material kind of breaks people’s brains a little bit,” said researcher Michael Stern in a statement. Stern is founder and director of Evenline, the MIT spinoff that developed the custom 3D printing technology that was used to make the bricks.
Trash to tower: MIT engineers 3D-print LEGO-like glass bricks as tough as concrete
Inspired by the sustainable possibilities of circular construction, MIT engineers are creating a new type of reconfigurable masonry using 3D-printed, recycled glass. Leveraging a custom 3D glass printing technology from MIT spinoff Evenline,
